Open Into Life

Holistic Wellbeing Therapy with Marion Patricia Gardner

Jin Shin Jyutsu
A gentle healing touch therapy that helps us feel calm, relaxed, happy, focussed and in balance. Beneficial for regaining and maintaining emotional and physical wellness. Jin Shin Jyutsu Practitioners use their fingers and hands, rather than acupuncture needles, to harmonise and revitalise our vital energy flows, pathways or meridians enabling us to live well.

(Pronounced Gin Shin Jit Su or Jin Shin for ease)

Known as "The art of the compassionate man" this healing art originates in Japan and was brought to the west by Mary Burmeister in the last century as a gift from Master Jiro Muria. Jin Shin enables us to be aware of and ease away emotional and physical disharmony simply by using our hands and following the breath. Many people are using the daily self help practices alongside therapy sessions to maintain the free flow of our life energy within the body.

What to expect during a Therapeutic Jin Shin Jyutsu Session

We begin by talking about your issue, in Jin Shin we call this your "project" - there are no problems just projects to do to help you feel better. This will involve your medical history and the circumstances in you life that have led you to my practice. When you are happy to proceed I will ask you to lie, fully clothed on my therapy couch (sitting is also fine), you will be covered with a rug and your knees supported with a cushion to ensure your back is comfortable.

I will feel your wrist pulses to discover more about the energy flows in you and to help me decide the most appropriate treatment. I then sit quietly beside you and place my hands on parts of your body, fingers and toes where the flows can be sensed. As my hands rest I am waiting to feel the gentle pulses that indicate the energy is flowing. I move my hands along the pathways to complete the flow. We usally work on two or three flows during an hour long treatment. Shorter sessions may be more appropriate for people whose energy flows are compromised by health conditions or for childrens' treatments.

As the flow eases you may become aware of a sensation of calmness flowing through you (indeed you may drift off to sleep), you may feel heat or warmth beneath my hands, you may feel sensations in your hands and feet as the energy flows. All of this is fine.

Each person is unique and the number of sessions will depend upon how their projects evolve. I am aware that many of my clients find it beneficial and like to come for regular Jin Shin sessions to maintain the feeling of well-beomg. Life is always changing and our energy flows are continually adapting so it is good to stay connected.

Please contact me to discover how Jin Shin Jyutsu sessions could help you. I look forward to welcoming you to the practice and the art of knowing yourself.
